LONDON, Aug. 27.-The London Times pub.
fishes the following about the English crops:
"Wheat comes out the best crop of the year
us was to bs expected. It Is not so great
crop, however, as few weeks ago few on
thusiasts were hoping for. It is not to be e1-
pected that it would be. The cold winter and
spring and the absence of rain when the plant
was young, were bound to have their effect
The quality Of the grain will be high, and we
may take 1t for granted that crop Of 81 BUSH
els Of 80 pounds each will be gathered in.
This estimate is based on an inspection Of the
crops in IA counties during the past six weeks,
as we'll as returns from actual growers. We
may put wheat as producing crop Of little
over 100000 quarters gross, giving crop TO
sell Of a little over 100000 quarters. This
will leave us dependent upon foreign supplies
for at least Il, 100000 and probably 19,0OO, 900
quarters, for 1t must not bs forgotten that the
shortness Of the potato crop will cause .
greater demand than usual for breadstuiSs.
The demand for corn for cattle feeding ID also
likely to be great, especially II low prices pre-
vail. When we consider that tho world L. re-
ducing Its wheat area, and there ID not now .
very large supply Of corn on hand, we may
reasonably expect that agriculturists will r.
ceive more remunerative price for their
wheat than for few years past. Tho extra
ordinary doings recently In futures and options
are mere matters Of gambling, and reports
based on them should be received with caution,
so far as their effect on tho future Of tho To-
gitlmate wheat trade 10 concerned.

OBITUARY.

Death, cold aud cruel, has, like thief, en-
tered our midst and taken George s., only child
left to Mr.. N. E. Waitress, of Bloomington,
Wisconsin, aged 20 years. George was taken
Ill two weeks ago, and MIR. and Mrs. G. D.
Gray had him taken to their home, and DR..
Philip, of Hope, was called in. He pronounced
his disease spinal meningitis. This was broken
ur, when it took typhoid turn. His father
was telegraphed for, and came at once. All
was done for him that loving hande or medical
aid could do, but Of no avail, and Monday
morning, August 10th, about $3.50 o'clock he
passed peacefully away. The poor father, it
seemed as though he could not give him up.
He watched anxiously by his bedside, only to
see his loved child hour after growing worse
and suffering in the agonies Of burning fever
till death relieved his sufferings. Only short
while ago he lost two of his daughters just
budding into womanhood. George was born
In Bloomington, Wisconsin. He received part
Of his education in Rhode Island, and COM
pleted his trade at the age Of is. He was
genial, appreciative and sympathetic. Truly
we can say none knew him but to love and

that his parents and friends bade him good-by
last May as he started for Dakota. He intended
to remain In tho employ Of Gray Brothers till
September, then to return to Bloomington,
where he had accepted position in store.
But Gods hand has interposed, and after two
short weeks Illness he was called to his re-
ward. All must bow submissively to Provi-
dence. 'God moves in mysterious way His
wonders to perform" George will DO greatly
missed by his companions, more especially in
his old home, where he was best known. He
won tho highest esteem from the Gray Broth
era, where he was employed, as he was atten-
tive to his business and skillful workman.
He lost his own mother when but two years
old, but had step mother whom he was often
heard to speak Of with love and tenderness.
Little children would smile with delight in his
presence. The funeral occurred Tuesday morn
ing, the services being conducted by Rev. Mr..
Waldo. The remains were inferred in the
Page cemetery, to remain till winter, when
they will be taken to Bloomington and placed
| by the side Of his mother and sisters.
MIR. and Mrs. Waitress have the sympathy of
this entire community in their sad bereave-
ment. MRS. j. s. HANNA,

An Important Land Case.

JAMESTOWN, Aug. 26.-Among the recent
decisions Of the general land Office none will
bs hailed with more general approval than
the stand taken in the case of Matthias Wink,
Of this county. The case is similar in the main
to that Of thousands Of settlers who are post
poning proof to the prejudice of the admin
istration, upon the advice of lawyers whose
conception of Sparks motives are sometimes
too severe. Wink offered proof on bis home
stead near the city some time ago, but the
Fargo land Office rejected the same on the
grounds Of non-continuous residence. A. A.
Allen, the plaintiffs attorney, appealed the
case to the general land Office, stating that tho
claimant had cropped the land for six consec-
utive years; had lived on the same from March
or April of each year until some time in De-
cember; was, for most Of the time single
man, and had expended some $500 or 700 in
Improvements. The fact that the claimant
had resided in jamestown during the months
Of December, January, February and March
OF each year was not sought to be hid, but was
plainly stated. The assistant secretary Of the
interior looked over the papers and, after an
examination Of the evidence, decided that
Winks intentions, Improvements and residence
showed good faith, and, therefore, ordered a
patent issued for the land. The decision will
doubtless have the effect of increasing the
number Of proofs for the next few months, as
many settlers in similar condition will now
feel at liberty to offer evidence to secure title
to their land. 1t must also be admitted that
the decision shows that the attitude Of the ad-
ministration toward the Dakota settlers has
been, once in while, misrepresented.-St.
Paul Globe Special.

In Re tho Interstate.

AT large meeting of farmers and old SET
tiers he'd at Sycamore, ILL.,, Aug. "a, Senator
Cullom spoke at length on matters of trans
portation and commercial regulation. Said
he: "Of the Interstate law, that those who
have tried to prejudice the public against the
law have not succeeded in awakening popu-
lar demand for it's repeal. The railroads rep
resent $S,00OOO0,O 600 Of the 1850, 900, 900 Of
the wealth of the people. Possibly $2,0oO,-
100000 Of the sum said to be in railroads In
the United States is watered, and ough to he
squeezed out. However that may be, there is
vast amount Of money invested in railroads
in the United States, and such an amount Of
capital behind the great corporations may be-
come dangerous to the liberties of the people.
1t is the business of the commission to be on
the alert and to deal unspac!ngly with the
officers and agents Of any road guilty Of viola.
tions of the law"

Your Children

Are constantly exposed to danger from
Colds, Whooping Cough, Group, and
diseases peculiar to the throat and
lungs. For such ailments, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral, promptly admins
tered, affords speedy relief and cure.
AS remedy for Whooping Cough,
with which many of our children were
afflicted, we used, during the past win
ter, with much satisfaction, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral. For this affection, VIC
consider this preparation the most efh-
cacious of all the medicines which have
come to our knowledge.-Mary Park
hurst, Preceptress, Home tor Little
Wanderers, Doncaster, Md.
My children have been peculiarly SUBJ
jecf to attacks of Group, and failed to
find any effective remedy until l com.
Pectoral. This preparation relieves the
difficulty Of breathing and invariably
cures the complaint. David G. Starks,
Chatham, Columbia Co., N. Y.
I have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral
have found It especially valuable in
Whooping Cough. This medicine allays
all irritation, prevents inflammation from
extending to the lungs, and quickly sub
dues any tendency to Lung Complaint.

I find no medicine so effective, for
Group and Whooping Cough, as Ayers
